A new stationary phase of magnesia-zirconia composite matrix for high-performance liquid chromatography was first prepared by modification of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) via fosfomycin as a spacer. Various modification procedures were attempted for achievement of successful modification. The modified composite was characterized by using coloration, elemental analysis, diffused reflectance FT-IR, surface area and pore size distribution. The separation of alkylbenzenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, positional isomers of some acidic, basic and am...
